Where to Watch Scotland v Belarus Tonight
BBC Three and iPlayer is where to watch tonight’s World Cup Qualifier between Scotland and Belarus, with coverage from 7:30pm.
Scotland continue their FIFA World Cup qualifying campaign this evening as they take on Belarus at the ZTE Arena in Zalaegerszeg, Hungary. Kick-off is at 7.45pm.
Both sides come into this fixture looking to bounce back after tough opening matches. Belarus were tested away to Greece in Athens, while Steve Clarke’s Scotland faced a difficult trip to Denmark. Although tonight’s clash is being staged on neutral ground, it promises to be another tricky encounter for Clarke’s squad.
The two nations haven’t met in almost two decades. Back in the 2006 World Cup qualifiers, they played out a goalless draw in Minsk before Belarus edged a 1-0 victory at Hampden Park. That history will serve as a reminder that Scotland cannot take anything for granted.
However, there is cause for optimism. Having reached back-to-back European Championships, Scotland have shown they can compete on the big stage. With the ultimate prize of a first World Cup appearance since 1998 in their sights, Clarke’s men know that picking up points on the road will be essential to keeping those hopes alive.
